Sammie-girl - always by my side. Sometimes what a person really needs is a good long rest. When life is always coming at you in one or another, well, a nap may be just what you need. I hear people say all the time, and I'm guilty of it too, I don't have time for …

When Food Dictates Your Life
When I said I'd be taking a few days off after my "Countdown to 60" Stories and 60th Birthday Post on Instagram, I had no idea I'd literally be off of social media for a few days. Thanks to my food allergies for that! Of course, hubs likes to think it's due to food poisoning, …
When Comfort Food Causes Distress
I wish I could say I made it through Siblings Day unscathed. However, that would be far from the truth. Being with family just happens to bring with it the desire to eat foods we used to share together as kids. And even talking about how good of a cook our momma used to be, …

Spring Into Fitness
Spring is coming. And I can hardly wait for it. Spring, for me, means warmer temperatures and more time in the great outdoors. How about you? Are you excited about it?

A Winterized-Fitness Routine
And just like that, we are two thirds of the way through the month of January. Am I on target for all of my goals: especially fitness? You bet. Okay, well, maybe not all of them. But I'm trying, and that is what's important. Each step forward is success. How are you doing with your …
Hello 2022: Setting Goals
It's the new year, and I have a lot of ideas, dreams, goals, and things to accomplish in this year of 2022. Many of them are related to my book writing, publishing, and marketing. But some are related my fitness, my travel plans to visit family and friends, and to our move from this dilapidated …
